I'm sure it supposed to work like golf.

Mind you, 50 is a still a pretty good score on most courses. Par is around 72.

It's interesting that he is in a group of strong players to come through the ranks after Jamieson.Jordan,West,Rogers,Hjorth and Solomon are some of the others.

Yes, it was and still is the golden generation of Australian Chess! And they are all (or almost all) Victorians! There are rare pics and information in the book Australian Chess In the '80s! I think this is the correct title! I suggest to all, young and old who do not have it, to purchase this book, it's a real beauty!
Happy Birthday GM Darryl Johansen!
